So you think Paul continued to kill Christians as a sideline?

In our time the standard of Christianity has been lowered into what people can do in their own strength...not what grace can do in a person. It is seen as offensive to many to post about the victory in Christ. The good news is for they who are weak in need of strength...a strength made...

It is...I was blind but now I see. I was a sinner but now I walk by grace. But this standard seems out of reach for many. I think that the standard has been lowered to accommodate people...rather than the people lifted into God's holy standard.

Being "dead to self" is not by a human effort...it is a gift of God...by grace. At that point what seems "normal" has nothing to do with what we once found to be normal. We do things quite instinctively as we have always done until we question what we are living by. But it is good to question...

Now can we be justified IN our indulgences? Yes...God is merciful. All is possible with God...since even children innocently indulge their fleshly whims. But we can never justify our indulgences before the Lord. God can justify a person in the flesh if that person's heart is righteous. Then it...

When one is crucified with Christ, the desires of the flesh are nailed to the cross. If a person is Christ's (in ownership) then his flesh is crucified...out of the way...so that he might serve the Lord fully...without need to indulge his own desires. No longer I but Christ. Now Jesus NEVER...

The Lord has been putting this subject on my heart lately. I think that this is an important subject and necessary to understand properly for any kind of spiritual maturity. Now we all indulge our flesh to some degree and at some point if we are walking in our own strength. There are different...

Every one does works. It is just a matter of what kind they are. There is no such a thing as a person who is void of works...who just sits there and does nothing, says nothing, or thinks nothing. So then the whole works thing is a strawman argument. :) Our works reveal our hearts and our ways...

Thank you. Good to be back! Learned a lot about self-indulgence! :) It was a good time with Dot...meeting people and enjoyed the ocean. But also God spoke to me about the human condition that seeks to indulge in the pleasures of this temporal life. So I could love the people even while I saw the...

We all indulge our flesh to some degree...unless we are crucified AWAY from our own strength...and into His. Many Christians seek to please God and pray about what God's will is...even on a daily or even hourly basis. And this is a good thing. But even here there will be some...

Rev. 14:7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.” Ro 3:18 "THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES." 1Pe 2:17 Honor all men; love the brotherhood, fear God...

I don't answer foolish questions. When a person shows a complete ignorance (lack of knowledge) of biblical truth...as if that person actually didn't read the bible at all...then how can I explain that the opposite is true? You would have to take your own statements...and disprove them by...

The fear of the Lord is the BEGINNING of wisdom. Seeing you are far removed from this truth....where does that put you on the scale of wisdom?

You are actually making yourself to be far more spiritual than you are...having far more insight than you possess. You have turned the truth into a lie. So of course you will try giving very bad advice. ;) What makes you a "phd" in theology...your lack of esteem for others? Or your idea of...

Seeking God's righteousness is not to try to take on His righteousness for ourselves. That is a selfish quest. And we cannot take on His righteousness anyway...it is God that lays His Spirit on us so that we have that kind of authority....to become His ministers and ambassadors on earth. But...

So which is it? If she obeys her parents as the commandment says...she remains a Hindu (at least when she's young). But your dogmatism says that they are all going to hell anyway because their belief system isn't accurate. So at what age is she damned to hell by a loving God? in your opinion.... ;)

John 5:39 39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (the living Jesus and the living God...in real life.)

You are living in a paper bible...but I'm trying to wake you up into the real world. You don't yet understand the bible. Can you say...indoctrination? How many verses do you live in all day? Do you consult the bible in order to dress in the morning? What about food. Is peanut butter biblical...

If you could just be accurate and tell us at what age is a little Hindu girl damned to hell forever by obeying and honouring her parents? From birth? By age 12? Is she saved by dishonouring her parents and refusing to follow their religion? please explain how you see the bible explaining...

But all the works of Jesus could not fit into all the books of the world. You would be so dogmatic as to limit God to one book? If God says...go to Cleveland!...does that go "against" the bible? Do you not understand who God is? Is He locked in a small book? And why are you so afraid of...
